That’s a very nice story. Sometimes the Disney way of talking to the animals is the right way. Yes, I do think the turtle was grateful. I actually did’nt realize having one flipper tangled up would put him in danger, but maybe it does. Maybe his ability to swim and dive for food is impeded.
I can also see how it could’ve ended up drowning.
In Hawaii, the Honu is the tiger shark's favorite meal, along with tourists, especially white meat. They know how to swim down and avoid the shark.......
